The Prayer He Wanted.
From the Detroit nc Press.

FTO1l the UetT0It Free IFe6S.
Apropos Of a fashionable craze, the follow
ing story illustrates itself;
A little Detroit boy was sick, and his mother
sat up at night with him and sung him to
sleep.
so she told him stories, and being an amateur
elocutionlst, recHed the poem, Rock of
Ages" with such dramatic effect that he
went TO sleep and did not wake until morn
ing.
The following night he was worse. and in
sisted that his mother should ''pway" with
him.
She began "Our Father" but was per-
emptorly stopped by little hot hand laid
against her lips.
Then she essayed 'Now / Lay Me-" but 1t
threw the baby into a feverish rage,
"Pway, Mamma" he commanded, "pway

or the present Congress it is said that
there have been ABOUT as many weddings
in the families of its members as there
nave been deaths among its members.
The members who have married
are; McAdoo of New Jersey, McMillin of
Tennessee, Long of Massachusetts, and
Glover of Missouri. Among the daugh-
ters OF members who have ma rried are:
Miss Camden OF West Virginia, Miss
Colquitt of Georgia, Miss Eustis of
Louisiana, aud Miss Miller of California.
The record goes to prove that social ac-
tivity during President Cleveland's occu-
pancy OF the White House has not been
all for fun.

Here Is a pretty little Washington ro-
nance: One OF the Georgia members of
Congress has a fashion OF carrying a re-.
volver whenever he leaves the House at
night. His friends have ridiculed him.
and assured him that any part OF Wash
ington was az safe at midnight as at
MONDAY. But he wouldn't be laughed
out OF his precautions, and now IS glad
that he wasn't. He had been attending a
committee meeting at one Of the down.
town hotels the othor night. II was
nearly O'Clock when he started nome.
As he neared the corner OF Fourteenth
street and the Thomas Circle, a burly
negro stepped from the shade OF the
overhanging trees and insolently de-
manded TO know the time. Robbery was
undoubtedly his motive, but the Georgia
member was equal TO the occasion. He
rammed both hands into his pockets, and
when he pulled them out the left held a
handsome gold watch and the right an
ugly looking revolver. Holding both
within an inch OF the footpad's nose, he
coolly said: "Look for yourself, SIR"
The negro did look. Then he politely
touched his hat and ran away as fast as
his legs could carry him. The Georgia
members may be depended on to take care
OF themselves in Washington

At Cleveland, o., it is generally be-
1ieved that the governments quietly pre-.
pairing for possible trouble with Canada.
The belief is based on the inquiries made
by United States officer relative to the
number and character OF vessels at
Cleveland that could be utilized in case of
necessity. Cleveland needn't be fright
ened. The government, doubtless, is
merely preparing to provide berths for
the officers OF tho navy when the few
ankps now above water are hauled out for
tbelr ueual summer repairs.
